From the Paper
"A comparison of the narrative methods of the novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians, by Dodie Smith, and the film 101 Dalmatians, directed by Stephen Herek, produces a fascinating demonstration of how cinematic narratological code differs from the code of a written text. The key to the demonstration is that both works involve the presence of dogs that understand human speech and can interpret each other's barks in a 'linguistic' fashion. Both works were created for a primary audience of children. The novel could be read to smaller children but its level of difficulty is high enough that children would have to read at least at a third-grade level in order to enjoy it by themselves. It was clearly intended, however, to be read to younger children as well and Smith displays a fairly high level of anxiety in assuring that the terms of her fictional world of..."

Abstract
In this article the writer explores Christopher Browning's controversial 1992 text, 'Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland'. The writer both summarizes the text's salient points as well as discusses the opinion of the academic community as to its veracity and merit. Every bit as importantly, this paper examines the methodology employed and looks at why Browning's text, if not a great book, can at least be described as an important one. In the end, by looking at the psychology of the killers as he does, the writer maintains that Browning forces the reader to confront "the banality of evil" which made the Holocaust possible on such an unimaginable scale.
From the Paper
"The book is, simply put, a vivid portrayal of a horrifying event. It begins with the first mass-killing at Jozefow in the early morning hours of July 13, 1942. On that day, the members of Reserve Force Battalion 101 were roused from their bunks - they were effectively sequestered in a school building in the town of Bilgoraj - and ordered into waiting trucks. After a short time, they stopped at the small, aforementioned town of Jozefow and were ordered into a semi-circle around their 53-year old commander, Major Wilhelm Trapp. At this point, the first bit of horror in Browning's narrative unfolds. As he describes it, a tearful and badly-shaken Trapp tells his troops that the 1800 Jews in the small community were to be rounded up and separated into two groups - males of working age and everybody else."

Abstract
This paper supports Browning?s thesis that the despicable behavior of Hitler and his allies towards another race, as seen in World War II, is no aberration, but is rather entirely possible and even probable in other places and times. The writer makes reference to Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban comparing the organization to a totalitarian regime.
From the Paper
?Drawing extensively on primary source material, including transcripts of investigations and war crime trials, Browning asks how ?ordinary men? could have carried out the horrific acts that are described in his book in such detail. His answer is disturbing, because he avoids facile generalizations that would provide a comfortable psychological distance between ?us? and ?them.?

»

Abstract
This paper discusses the book "Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland", authored by Christopher Browning. It emphasizes the importance of the command structure during the early days of the Nazi regime, which allowed each person to accept only a small portion of the responsibility for any action. The paper expands on the conditions that caused ordinary men like the members of Battalion 101 to explode into homicidal and even genocidal violence.
From the Paper
"We would all like to think that there is something that separates good people from evil people. We would all like to think that there is nothing that would make us behave like the people that we read about in our history books people who slaughter the innocent ..."

From the Paper
"The task of change management is to bring order to a messy situation (14). Essentially, it seeks to magnify and systematically handle all known and unknown elements in the business environment that could affect the efficient and profitable operation of an organization (13). In most cases, change management involves a problem, which is addressed by transformation, reduction or application. By transformation, the management task is to change the situation from a "problem state" to a "solved state," while the goal in reduction is to lessen the magnitude of the problem to blunt its effects on the organization. In application, the organization calls in specialists to transform, reduce or eliminate the problem (21). There is always the option of doing nothing and leaving things as they are but management scholars have consistently and strongly questioned this course of action (12)."

From the Paper
"The primary question is: how close does the language software come in achieving its stated goal? The language software must be engaging, give feedback, and be fun for the student to use. The old-fashioned, non-computer methods of rote memorization weren't effective because the student became bored quickly. Retention is helped by games, visual clues, and socialization.
"The primary selection criteria for these software packages were therefore user involvement: how many senses were involved in the use of this software? How much fun can a student have with it? Can the student get feedback from his/her own voice? Are the methods progressive, with a sense of advancement? Can it be tied to social interaction, such as working with fellow students? To this end, the author used the criteria selected by the National Foreign Language Resource Center."

Diocletian's Palace and the City of Split, 2008.
An overview of the history and architecture of Emperor Diocletian's palace and the City of Split.
3,310 words (approx. 13.2 pages), 24 sources, MLA, AU$ 138.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper relates that the Emperor Diocletian rose through the orders by virtue of military skill, brilliance, and flexible scruples and how in preparation for his retirement, Diocletian had built a huge structure on the Dalmatian coast, a few miles from Salona. It also looks at how what began as a villa eventually became a a permanent settlement as the city of Split developed.
From the Paper
"While there will probably never be definitive evidence of when the inhabitation which became Split took place, it is unlikely that the palace was ever entirely derelict. It was simply to fine a resource to pass up, and while it may have been many decades before there was any substantial permanent settlement here, it seems highly doubtful that the palace was ever truly deserted. (Wilkes, 88) While the precise nature of the inhabitation at Split during the early years remains questionable, the city always seems to have been regarded as autonomous, and by the time Constantine Porphyrogenitus chronicled it, it was essentially independent and remained so until the Venetians gained control in the fifteenth century. (Plommer, 256) "

Black Holes, 2005.
This paper describes the basic types of black holes and their detection.
2,010 words (approx. 8.0 pages), 13 sources, MLA, AU$ 93.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that in the universe, few elements are weirder than black holes, a celestial body made of material so dense that nothing can easily escape its gravitational field, not even light. The author points out, that for decades, theorists considered them mere mathematical constructs, unavoidable consequences of Albert Einstein's theories of relativity; but there is no reason that they cannot exist in nature and, over the last four decades, evidence has mounted that suggests they actually do exist. The paper relates that, although black holes are totally invisible and there is no way to see them directly, they can be detected indirectly (1) by observing the radiation from the bright-burning accretion disks, which radiate on all electromagnetic frequencies especially on the X-ray bands, and (2) by observing their gravitational effects on other objects.

Surfing the Singularity
From the Paper
"Another important feature possessed by many black holes is an accretion disk, a torus around the event horizon formed by infalling matter as it spirals toward the singularity. Because of the energetic nature of the infall-think of the whirlpool formed as water drains from a bathtub-accretion disks usually emit all sorts of radiation, including visible light. The only other features black holes are reliably theorized to possess are angular momentum (rotation) and occasionally the odd electric charge or magnetic polarity, a consequence of eating too many charged particles"

Origins of New English Words, 2002.
This paper is a research project that studies recent additions to the English language, the word formation processes, and the general subject areas to which these new words belong.

Abstract
This paper reports that, to get a representative sample of new words, all 101 entries in the T, U, and V sections of the Oxford Dictionary of New Words, published in 1997, were used as a sample. The author states that the sample reveals a very low degree of borrowing from other languages; instead, internal word formation processes, such as compounding, semantic change, derivation, and abbreviation are used to form the new words. The paper concludes that, as long as English is a dominant global language, it is unlikely that this trend towards internal coinage in favor of borrowing will change.

From the Paper
"Instead, compounding was used to form the majority (40%) of the new words in the sample. These were often adjective-noun or noun-noun compounds such as ?tight building syndrome? and ?theme park?. This process produces words that are usually self-evident in a simple, logical manner, and it is hardly surprising that it is as frequently used in the formation of new words today as it has been throughout the history of the language.Derivation processes were used to form about 12% of the sample. As well as existing affixes being attached to existing words (?tankie?), a number of new prefixes and suffixes such as ?-ware? and ?techno-? were attached to pre-existing words to create new lexical items (?technobabble?)."

"Terrible Honesty: Mongrel Manhattan in the 1920s", 2002.
This paper discusses the portrayal of the atmosphere that characterized the era known as Prohibition in Ann Douglas's book, "Terrible Honesty: Mongrel Manhattan in the 1920s."

Abstract
This paper examines a passage in Ann Douglas's book, "Terrible Honesty," that deals with New Yorkers flaunting their defiance of Prohibition in the 1920s. The writer looks at the language of the passage itself and discusses the significance of the choice of words and phrases. The passage itself is reflective of New York during the period of Prohibition when there was excitement in just doing something illegal. Prohibition is a theme that comes up throughout the book and this particular passage on page 101, touches upon how life was changing during this period in history. According to the author, this passage serves as a bridge between the past and how the technological advances affected life as it had been known in the big city.
From the Paper
"Prohibition figures so prominently in this book because it was an important and heated issue, but as we have seen, it was also related to politics, suffrage, religion, and many other highly emotional issues. It was not just about getting a drink on a Saturday night, it was about the right of women to vote, to worship where you choose, and make your own personal decisions. It was an issue of too many laws, and the government trying to tell people how to live their personal lives. Drinking may be addictive and dangerous, but people have the basic right to choose, and if they choose to smoke, or drink, or vote, or visit a specific church, they have the right, and they may also have to suffer the consequences."

?Ordinary Men?, 2002.
Analyzes Christopher R. Browning's history of the German Police Battalion in Nazi Germany, comparing it to Daniel Goldhagen's "Hitler's Willing Executioners".

Abstract
According to Christopher R. Browning?s aptly-titled history of the German Reserve Police Battalion 101, "Ordinary Men", the most significant single factor influencing any given policeman?s decision to participate in acts of Nazi genocide, was that individual?s personal willingness to obey the orders given to him as a soldier and as a German. In other words, how much was that individual willing to be subject to, for want of a better word, ?peer pressure.? The paper shows that this is in direct contrast to the thesis advocated by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen in his book, "Hitler?s Willing Executioners". Goldhagen stresses that the actions of the policemen, soldiers and citizens who enforced the larger Reich ideological agenda were performed enthusiastically. The paper explains Goldhagen's belief that this willingness was the result of many years of anti-Semitic propaganda in Germany, extending back in historical time to the earliest days of German Lutheranism?s influences on Christianity.
From the Paper
"The actions of the Reserve Police Battalion 101 become, in essence, even more chilling when viewed through Browning?s schema of explanation. It is easy to rationalize inhumanity as a symptom of German culture, and to state that all human beings have pure free will to resist the pressures of position, country, and ideology. The idea that one can still retain one?s ethical, moral compass (as evidenced by the disgust and horror of the policemen) and act against it when structural pressures persuade one to do otherwise is far more disturbing and a far more bracing slap in the ethical face of one?s judgment."

Abstract
This paper discusses the integrated model of treatment for co-occurring psychiatric and substance abuse disorders. Research strongly indicates that "changes in substance disorder have significant effects on symptoms, functioning, and quality of life" (Cuffel, 1996, p. 101). Co-occurring substance use disorders and psychiatric disorders can be assessed and managed effectively only through the integrated treatment model.

Abstract
Using Browning's "Ordinary Men" and Rhode's "Masters of Death", the author explores the origins of the men who were responsible for the Holocaust, the SS-Einsatzgruppen and Reserve Police Battalion 101. The author believes that two different dynamics that drove these men to kill millions. Peer pressure and the situation drove some, but ultimately, an active decision to kill was required of every man.
From the Paper
"In an unfortunate relationship, the most intriguing events throughout the course of humanity are the most brutal and horrific. The Holocaust at the hands of the Nazis and Hitler?s Aryan race was quite certainly the most appalling event in modern history and the question of ?how did it happen? still stands today. Two recent works, Masters of Death and Ordinary Men, by Richard Rhodes and Christopher Browning, respectively, attempt to answer this query. Though both authors discuss the physical actualization of the mass murders, the more important topic between both is the work of Hitler?s most dastardly henchmen: the unlikely Heinrich Himmler?s pet SS-Einsatzgruppen and Reserve Police Battalion 101. However, the question is by no means of a single man?Hitler was quite obviously insane?but rather of the men who acted directly as the hand of God to cleanse the Reich. The Wehrmacht invaded territory after territory with devastating effect, but the Reichsf?hrer?s (Himmler?s) Einsatzkommandos and the Police Battalions followed with a single mission: stability through purification. The fundamental difference between Rhodes?s account and Browning?s is whether or not these men made any active decision to embody their orders and become pure executioners. Rhodes believes that the common soldiers?the men who actually dispatched the victims of the cleansing?at one point or another believed what they were doing was justified in some manner and thereby made a positive decision to take steps against civilians and accept execution as their profession. Browning asserts that the men of the Reserve Police Battalion were simply thrust into their acts of violence and lacked the time to consider their orders as heinous, a position that allowed many of them to continue the atrocities after being propelled into the fray. Essentially the Einsatzgruppen were bred for and accepted the role of slaughterers while the Reserve Police Battalion simply found themselves caught-up in a frenzy of death and continued on."
